i'll cry instead

• writer: john lennon; lead vocals: lennon, mccartney
  
  i've got every reason on earth to be mad
  'cause i've just lost the only girl i had
  and if i could get my way
  i'd get myself locked up today
  but i can't so i cry instead
  
  i've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
  i can't talk to people that i meet
  and if i could see you now
  i'd try to make you sad somehow
  but i can't so i cry instead
  
  don't want to cry when there's people there
  i get shy when they start to stare
  i'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay
  but i'll come back again someday
  
  and when i do you'd better hide all the girls
  i'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world
  yes, i'm gonna break them in two
  and show you what your loving man can do
  until then i'll cry instead
